A man has been arrested after a police chase ended when his car crashed into a bungalow in Warrington.
At around 10.45pm on Monday, October 12, police were called to reports of a man driving a Nissan Qashqai in Bagot Avenue who was possibly armed with a knife.
Police pursuit through Warrington
Cheshire Police officers were deployed to the scene and at around 2am on Tuesday, October 13, they spotted a vehicle matching the description in the Norris Street area. Police tried to stop the vehicle, but the driver fled at speed.
A chase began as officers followed the car through the area. It came to an end when the driver crashed into a bungalow on Bagot Avenue.
Arrest and injuries
The driver of the car was assessed by paramedics at the scene before being taken to hospital as a precautionary measure. A 37-year-old man from Orford has since been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage, dangerous driving, driving while disqualified, failing to stop following a collision and failure to provide a specimen for analysis. He remains in custody at this time.
Four passengers from the vehicle were also treated by paramedics at the scene. Their injuries are not believed to be serious.
The occupants of the address suffered only minor injuries and have since been moved to alternative accommodation while the property is assessed by structural engineers.
